many years ago i had a customer trying to play hardball with getting credit for a returned part she hadn't actually sent back yet
and i calmly explained that i needed the part back before i could issue credit for several minutes
but she wouldn't relent and kept getting shittier
so finally i just said, "look, you fucking shithead, if you want your god damned credit you're going to have to send the fucking part back first" and hung up on her
and apparently she was just offended that i said "god damned"
they don't let me talk to customers much anymore
Okay but
Fuck people like that
The world is full of people whose go-to phone move is "just be shittier and shittier" because they're relying on companies using phone people as sacrificial lambs until they eventually throw the angry customer some bone and it works often enough with no repercussions
Fuck 'em

A clock museum bought the parking lot the bakery uses and it's going from "free" to "$100/month".
Fucking clock museum.
these clocks don't run themselves matt
oh wait they do?
well um
I can't think of anything less useful than a clock museum.
The guy spent 6 years building a building for it, some modern concrete and glass eyesore that doesn't fit the neighborhood at all, that he constantly had to go to court to fight over because of union grievances.
Then the big retirement home across the street went up for sale, it's a 5 story L-shaped building, and he outbid the YMCA that was going to use it for low-rent housing, and he turned THAT into even more clock museum.
And he's going to fill it with things that do a worse job telling time than the phone in my pocket does.

If the clock museum lets me stare at a really complex mechanical watch's internal gears moving, it is worth it.

there's actually a kind of funny curve with new employees here where the first few months we get along fine and then they get comfortable and start making stupid demands and i snap at them and then there's like a year where they are afraid of me, and then everyone learns to not be stupid and we get along fine again
i may not be the best person but it works for me

hm, so despite telling them i didn't want to do performance reviews, here i am doing performance reviews
they got around that by adopting a system in which everyone has do performance reviews of a few people
performance reviews suck
If your performance review is being compared to theirs for raises/promotion harsh but fair, if they are your subordinates and your team is being evaluated based on your evaluation full points for all, unless you think you'll need to fire or lay off someone.

You know. I hear that a ton around here. My buddy at work says fuck like it's going out of style. But won't say "GD" and gets uncomfortable when I say it. That girl I had a good run with last year also said something about it. I'll never get used to religious folks thinking that's the most offensive curse word.

heading back down to NZ in march to help deal with all of my grandmother's stuff and house. her will had instructions for the house, which is great, but nothing about the contents. I don't think there will be much of an issue, but there's some neat stuff from my grandad's days in the RNZAF when they were stationed in Singapore. Just need to figure out how much I'm willing to spend to freight stuff back home, or if I just stick to what I can get in a suitcase.
also going to do a 5 day great walk, the heapy track, which is going to be bloody fantastic!

The best part is it isn't even a curse word. It's literally a prayer. "God, please damn this thing that offends me."
People are all "you're taking the lord's name in vain!" and you're not. Taking the lord's name in vain is claiming God supports something/agrees with something/ is ascribed to something God isn't.
So all the people who're like "God hates the gays", that's actual taking the lord's name in vain.
"God damn those people", you're just saying your prayers.

Old Testament God was just the Israelites excuse for being dicks. "God SAID we should destroy this whole city."
God's like "How many times do I have to let you fuckers get enslaved and sent into the desert for decades before you get it..."
Then he sends his hippie son down to spread the peace and love and they're like "Sure, sure, peace and love, right, FALSE PROPHET GET HIM" and back to being dicks...
